Hampton School District 29

Hampton School District 29 in Illinois has only one school, Hampton Elementary School, which serves grades K-8 with 239 students enrolled. While the school's performance has declined in recent years, falling from the 768th to the 1,227th ranking out of over 2,000 Illinois elementary schools, there are some bright spots and areas for improvement.

Hampton Elementary School's overall performance on the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) exams is below the state average in both English Language Arts (37.4% proficient vs. 41.2% statewide) and Mathematics (27.2% proficient vs. 28.4% statewide). However, the school's 8th-grade students perform significantly better than the state average in both ELA (66.7% vs. 49.9%) and Math (54.2% vs. 28.1%), while 3rd-grade students perform much worse (0% vs. 30.6% in ELA and 5.6% vs. 33.8% in Math). On the Illinois Science Assessment (ISA), the school's performance is slightly below the state average (49% proficient vs. 53.2% statewide).

The school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (35.56%), which may be a contributing factor to its overall performance. However, the school's per-student spending of $11,266 is slightly higher than the state average, and the student-teacher ratio of 14.1 is lower than the state average, indicating a relatively small class size. These factors suggest that the Hampton School District 29 is allocating resources to support the school, but the performance data indicates that these resources may not be translating into consistently strong academic outcomes.
